Chapter 6: Thermal-Stress Analysis of a Cooled Turbine Blade

This example problem shows how to easily set up and perform a thermal-stress analysis of a cooled turbine blade.

The following features and capabilities are highlighted:

  • Use of surface-effect capabilities to simulate convection loading on solid regions.

  • Use of one-dimensional fluid flow capabilities to obtain a highly accurate thermal solution for convection loading.

You can also perform this example analysis entirely in the Ansys Mechanical Application. For more information, see Thermal-Stress Analysis of a Cooled Turbine Blade in the Mechanical Technology Showcase: Example Problems.
